Title: Apparatus and method for identifying peaks in liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry data and for forming spectra and chromatograms
Inventor: GORENSTEIN MARC VICTOR
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2005-02-11
Abstract: Chromatograms and mass spectra produced by an LC/MS system are analyzed by creating a two-dimensional data matrix of the spectral and chromatographic data. The two-dimensional matrix can be created by placing the spectra generated by the mass spectrometer portion of the LC/MS system in successive columns of the data matrix. In this way, the rows of the data matrix correspond to chromatographic data and the columns of the data matrix correspond to the spectra. A two-dimensional filter is specified and applied to the data matrix to enhance the ability of the system to detect peaks associated with ions. The two-dimensional filter is specified according to desired criteria. Rank-1 and rank-2 filters can be specified to improve computational efficiency. One method of applying the two-dimensional filter is through convolution of the data matrix with the two-dimensional filter to produce an output data matrix. Peaks corresponding to detected ions are identified in the output data matrix. Parameters of the peaks are determined and stored for later processing including quantitation, or simplification of chromatograms or spectra by, for example, identifying peaks associating with ions having retention times falling within a specified retention time window or having mass-to charge ratios falling within a specified mass-to-charge ratio window.

Title: Monitoring the flow edge of a fluid across an immunoassay region
Inventor: ABBOTT TIMOTHY JOHN
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2007-06-20
Abstract: A method of monitoring an immunoassay comprises determining the position of the flow edge of fluid across an immunoassay region. This may allow early detection of possible errors in the test. For example the speed of the movement of the fluid flow edge may be determined from measurements of the position of the fluid flow edge at times throughout the test, and the determined speed may be compared with one or more thresholds to determine whether the test is proceeding correctly. Various factors may be taken into account when comparing the assay against a reference e.g. temperature, humidity, tilt of assay region. An immunoassay reader may obtain images of the active area of an immunoassay strip (by illuminating with light) and recording light reflected from the strip to determine the position of the flow edge. Alternatively, the shape of the flow edge of fluid may be monitored. Alternatively a method of monitoring an immunoassay comprising monitoring the variation with time of a feature of an immunoassay region is disclosed.

Title: Signalling of dynamic allocation of subcarriers in OFDM systems
Inventor: ARNOTT ROBERT
IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 2007-08-02
Abstract: In an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) mobile telecommunications uplink from users (3, fig. 1) to base station (5), subcarriers are dynamically allocated (33, fig. 2) in contiguous resource blocks RB signalled by a starting block, O, and P consecutive RB's, where P is a product of 2, 3 and 5 which can be written in an index table (p. 10). An encoder module 35 maps the O and P allocation values using either the index table itself or an integer based on indexP, O and the system bandwidth (see equations on p.16). The latter method provides a one bit saving compared to the former for a bandwidth of 20 MHz, and requires no lookup table to be stored in the mobile units or base station.

Each tilting unit (5) is allocated an inclinometer, whose measured value of the inclination of the channel in the transversal direction of the latter is fed to the extraction controller (12) and compared with the tilt signal that is generated by the evaluation. Each inclinometer is equipped with a radio transmitter (9) for the radio transmission of the inclination signals to the assigned extraction controller (12). Each inclinometer is equipped with a power supply battery, which is activated by a radio signal of a transmitter (9) that is provided on the planer (2) and is deactivated after a time lapse.

Title: Performing serving cell management in a base station by determining backhaul loading
Inventor: STEPHENS PAUL
IPC: H04W36/24
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: A base station 101 for a cellular communication system comprises a backhaul loading processor 303 for determining a backhaul loading indication for the base station. The backhaul loading indication may be any measure of backhaul congestion, e.g. buffer levels for buffer 309 exceeding thresholds (403), an amount of data waiting to be communicated over backhaul, an estimated transmit delay, or an estimation of air interface resource allocated for data to be transmitted over backhaul. A serving cell control processor 305 performs serving cell management in response to the backhaul loading indication, including refusing new calls and handover of traffic to neighbours (103). Cell selection processor 311 selects a neighbour base station (103) for handover using information about air interface resource availability and backhaul loading of neighbours, received via communication processor 313. Buffer thresholds (403) may be determined by Quality of Service delay requirements. The invention may reduce peak backhaul resource usage thereby reducing the required backhaul capacity for base station 101.
Patent GB-2454936-A (GB)
Title: Oscillator calibration
Inventor: MULLEN SEAN
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2007-11-23
Abstract: A basestation 20 (e.g. a femtocell basestation) for a cellular communication system has an interface, for connection to a computer network 24 (e.g. the internet) and also includes an oscillator 28, for generating wireless transmit and receive frequencies. A controller 30 receives timestamped response messages from one or more time servers 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 over the computer network 24, each response message being subject to a network propagation delay, which is a sum of a minimum network propagation delay and a jitter component. For each received response message an apparent network propagation delay is determined as a function of a difference between a first timestamp applied by the time server and a second timestamp based on a clock derived from said oscillator. A subset of the received response messages are selected, whose network propagation delays include minimal jitter components. The frequency accuracy of the oscillator is then determined based on changes over time in the apparent network propagation delays of the selected received response messages. The oscillator 28 can then be adjusted based on this frequency accuracy.
